MSI Spatium M580 FROZR: Why It’s The Best PCIe 5 SSD Right Now

With both Intel and AMD offering PCIe 5 support on their latest motherboards, SSD manufacturers are keen to offer models that peak at up to 14,000MB/sec. Better known for making motherboards and graphics cards, MSI has also released a PCIe 5 SSD and in this review of the Spatium M580 FROZR we'll be looking at why I think it's the best PCIe 5 SSD out there right now.

Clearly the most stand-out feature is the massive heatpipe-equipped heatsink. Price is the biggest issue with PCIe 5 SSDs - the 2TB model costs $320 and 4TB $515 - but another is temperatures. You cannot run these SSDs without a heatsink and even those included with the likes of the Crucial T705 are only just capable of preventing the SSD from thermally throttling in good conditions.

While sequential speeds are unsurprisingly much faster than the PCIe 4-based Crucial T500, it wasn't much faster in the random 4K tests, except for slight gains in the 32 queue depth, 16-thread test. However, it was again much faster in the 3DMark game load tests so you will see some degree of load time reduction.
